Various faults are inevitable during the production and use of PCB, such as open circuit, short circuit, component failure, etc. These problems directly affect the performance and reliability of electronic equipment.

[0003] Traditional PCB repair and inspection methods rely heavily on manual visual inspection and simple testing equipment, which can't quickly locate damaged electronic components. Inaccurate holes may appear during the PCB production process, requiring re-inspection of the holes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] In response to the above problems, this utility model document proposes a PCB board repair and detection device. Utility Model Content

A PCB board repair and inspection device is proposed.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 A maintenance and inspection device includes a platform 1, which serves as the support platform for the entire device and is designed as a sturdy metal frame to ensure stability and load-bearing capacity. A motor 5 is mounted on one side of the platform 1 and connected to a screw 6 via a transmission device (such as a coupling), providing power to drive the screw 6 to rotate.

[0030] Screw 6 is horizontally mounted and rotatably connected to the interior of the machine 1. Driven by motor 5, it rotates, driving a threaded slider 8 to move axially. Sliding slider 8 is fixed to screw 6 and, through a threaded connection, achieves linear motion as screw 6 rotates. An electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to its upper surface.

[0031] The electric push rod 9 controls the vertical movement of the extension rod 10 by adjusting the length of its output shaft. The extension rod 10 is fixed to the output shaft of the electric push rod 9. A camera 3 is mounted at the bottom of the extension rod 10 to capture images of the PCB 2 for maintenance and inspection. The camera 3 is a high-resolution camera that captures clear images of the PCB 2 and transmits them in real time to a display screen for analysis.

[0032] Two parallel first guide rails 13 are fixed inside the machine 1 to support and guide the movement of the second guide rail 14. The two second guide rails 14 are slidably connected between the two first guide rails 13, and the spacing between the two second guide rails 14 is adjusted by rotating the screw 15.

[0033] The PCB board 2 to be inspected and repaired is placed on the support surface above the second guide rail 14. Positioning posts 11 are respectively set in the movable grooves on the upper surface of the second guide rail 14, can slide along the movable grooves, and are fixed in the desired position by screws 17 and nuts 18 to position the PCB board 2.

[0034] The second guide rail 14 can be made of plastic material, which has a certain toughness and will not cause damage to the PCB board 2. By tightening the nut 18, the second guide rail 14 can be fastened to the positioning column 11, thereby fixing the position of the positioning column 11.

[0035] The positioning holes 12 designed at the four corners of the PCB board 2 cooperate with the positioning posts 11 to ensure the stability of the PCB board 2 during the inspection process. The positioning holes 12 of the PCB board 2 can also be inspected. If the holes are not opened accurately, it cannot be installed in multiple positioning posts 11.

[0036] Positioning holes 12 are auxiliary holes used in the PCB manufacturing and assembly process. They are usually located at the edge or specific location of the PCB to accurately position and fix the circuit board. These holes do not participate in the connection of the circuit, but are crucial to ensuring the quality and performance of the circuit board.

[0037] This application can be used in the field of PCB boards, and can also be used in other fields applicable to this application.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] refer to Figures 1-4 , improved on the basis of Example 1:

[0040] A PCB board repair and detection device, which is applied to the PCB board field;

[0041] The guide column 7 is fixed inside the machine platform 1 and is slidably connected to the sliding block 8 to provide vertical guidance for the sliding block 8.

[0042] The infrared thermal imager 4 is mounted on one side of the inner wall of the machine 1 to quickly detect overheated areas on the PCB 2 and assist in maintenance. The infrared thermal imager 4 can be found in the invention patent publication number CN106679824B.

[0043] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the motor 5, the electric push rod 9 and the infrared thermal imager 4 are commonplace, and are all conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0044] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
